Pink Final

Feeling a little nostagiac.

£#%&!in murky and miserable out there.

Getting home from the match, absolutely frozen and drenched. Even colder and wetter if we hadnt won. Priority was to get the scarf off and in position for it to dry before its next appearance. Get changed, have whatever the old lady had sorted for tea.

Get on the floor in front of the fire with the pink. Better when we had won and were this weeks centre pages. Occasional head up at the tele. Hoping to hang it out til MOTD.

Predicting the rest of the seasons fixtures and seeking out a way we could close that £#%&! gap that we were behind the scouse @#%&!s/Leeds/Derby

Had the season ran the way I had predicted, we were champions every week

I may have even updated my Shoot league ladders before lockdown

Loved the pink

Used to be a queue outside the newsagents about 6 bells waiting for the MEN van to drop it off

Always sold more if United won

Paperboy got first lot to flog in the community pub, the labour club and the gardeners

Spot the ball

Face in the crowd

Probably the best days of my life

Having been away from Manchester since the late 80s it's this sort of thing that I think of when I look back; along with meat pies with juice that burns your hands and the Radcliffe Times every Thursday.

I've been back to Radcliffe a couple of times recently and it's nothing like I remember it.

I used to buy it outside the ground while the ink was barely dry, and the match report would just stop three quarters of the way through.
Used to be fuming at that blue @#%&! Les Holt.

as well as the pink was there also the buff?

Wasn't there a blue @#%&! called T Knott too, great The Pink and those Shoot ladders Hark said, loved them. Chipmunk crisps at the match and the Pink to get home and read whilst perving over Daisy Duke
